Role in series[]
The original Incidental 41.
Incidental 41 seems to be the most commonly used incidental character in the series. He appears to be the incidental character with the most major and speaking roles in the main series making at least one major or speaking role in almost every episode he appears in. He also commonly appears as the "bus driver" throughout the series where he would always be portrayed as a bus driver, hence his name. He even has a "BABY" suffix variant that makes a few appearances throughout the series as well. He can commonly be seen alongside Incidental 42 in many episodes and he makes his most notable appearance yet in the episode "Plankton's Regular" as a regular Chum Bucket customer named Nat. He was firstly designed to be a Snack Bar customer with Incidental 42 where the two of them were known as the two "fish at snack bar." The model number "41" was originally given to a different incidental until it was later reassigned to him.
